Hi all, new to the forum trying to find others experiencing a similar issue with 120 series transmission.
I have a 2009 120 Series VX Prado and up until recently it has been flawless. In recent months I have started to notice a bit of a gremlin in the transmission. The problem occurs after the vehicle has come to a stop, when removing foot from brake pedal to accelerate there is a rather noticeable "clunk" as the transmission engages. Sometimes it is there and other times it isn't? Everything else seems fine except for gear changes perhaps hanging on a little long at the top end prior to overdrive but this may just be a weight issue as the vehicle is quite heavily loaded up at the moment.
My regular mechanic didn't seem to know what was causing the problem as nothing was being logged on the telemetry and simply suggested I take it Toyota to look at. Did that and the best they could come up with was a dirty air cleaner (yep $200 down the drain) Could have told them that!
So yeah, wondering if anyone else has seen or heard of similar.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers
